It's 1983, and hopeless junkie Dick gets an unwelcome visit from the past - his seriously sleazy former cellmate, Bug, to be precise. Bug requires a crash course in the 80s: different music, different drugs, and machines in walls that dispense money. The latter development gives Dick an idea.

VIBE

A grimly funny, character-driven crime drama about two desperate souls navigating the bleak realities of addiction and a botched heist. It feels lived-in, grimy, and tinged with a palpable sense of impending doom.
